Incredible location. Throwing back the curtains each morning, the surfers (often including Ricardo - the owner) were out in the waves off the point. What a view for breakfast! Bungalow was beautiful and well looked after. Ricardo and his wife could not have been nicer or more helpful- they made our stay truly memorable (including the fabulous margaritas!), and left us more knowledgeable about Panama and with many stories to tell.

The camp exceeded our expectations by far. Everything was very convenient, clean, beautiful and special. You can pay three dollars for a safe parking spot if you do not want to cross the river by car or just leave it for free at the side of the road. During the dry season, the river is not deep and you can easily carry your luggage over. There is a cosy bar and a great restaurant (food was delicious). Rooms were cleaned daily what we appreciated very much. You can also have dinner in town. We walked there twice as 20minutes are the perfect time to digest your meal ;-). The receptionist provided helpful information and was very kind, also all the other staff at the restaurant and bar. Sunrise and sunset were amazing to watch from the beach and it is totally safe to swim there. We did a snorkeling tour and scuba diving and swam with whale sharks, mantas, white tip riff sharks and turtles. Amazing!

I got a free upgrade to the Upper Level Suite. The view was absolutely amazing! The king bed was super comfortable, the room was clean, and the location was perfect for relaxing. The rooms are simple, but very clean and have everything you need. I had a great stay and would definitely come back.

We loved the remote location in paradise. Our hosts made us feel at home. Delicious meals and a selection of beverages. Booking was easy and all of our questions were answered. Day trips can be arranged and are well worth it. Staff are kind and polite. There was no shortage of things to do and explore.

    Location was amazing being right on the beach. Main area had lots of sitting areas to relax and find shade. Atmosphere and decor was relaxing and inviting. Great having a pool when you didn’t feel like going in the ocean. Beach was beautiful and long enough for a good walk.

    The location is to die for. Right on the beach, you can hear the waves crashing and the breeze blowing as you're falling asleep. It was kind of funny because you have to cross a little "river" or inlet on foot to get there, and depending on the tide it can be a bit of water to wade through (roller bags not recommended!) but it just added to the sense of adventure and seclusion. It was very easy to book a day trip to Coiba Island via reception, as well as sign up for surf lessons.
